About LQS Healthcare Services
LQS Healthcare provides care and support to people in their own homes in Worthing and across West Sussex. We work with older people, younger adults, people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. Almost everybody who contacts us wants the same thing. To carry on living in their own house, with their own belongings and their own way of doing a day, helped just enough to make it safe and manageable. Our job is to provide that help without taking the household over. We begin with a visit and an unhurried conversation about what has genuinely become difficult, which is often not what families assume. Sometimes it is washing and dressing, sometimes medication or meals, sometimes getting to appointments, and quite often it is simply that the days have grown very long. The plan follows from that and is revised as needs change. We keep the team around each person small and introduce new staff properly rather than sending somebody unannounced. For people living with dementia a familiar voice at the door and an unhurried manner matter more than anything else we could offer. Where somebody has a physical disability we look closely at equipment, transfers and how the home is arranged. We are clear about our limits and will say so rather than take on something we cannot deliver safely. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please call us if you would like to arrange a visit.
